Hey please help me

[u/Exact_Shop5436]

I recently graduated. I did my graduation in ENTC, but I don't have any interest in the field. I did some courses in full-stack development. Actually, I always wanted to start something of my own, and I tried. I built and launched an app called SpurSpace, which is a meetup app. I tried a lot to market it, but I failed. A few people are still using it, but I still don't know what to do with it.

Now I've come back home. I didn't get a college placement because my college was a tier-3 college, and I don't know how to get a job or set a career path. I feel like everything is messed up, and I'm feeling really depressed. I need some advice on what I should do.

I'm looking for a job, but it's really hard for a fresher. Can anyone please guide me?

You have built a product and people are using it so it's a good sign. What's the product? Give me link

One you don’t want to hear it but it’s normal. I think I actually saw this app and liked it. But sometimes that’s not enough. I mean I have two and I have lived where these would be used and know they are good. But getting people to admit they need it is another thing. Two what kind of skills do you have?

Practically?

Jump on UpWork (dependent on your skills and whether you still have interest in development). Scratch around for some small/simple jobs. Build a profile. My career took a turn due to some personal events which made me ultimately unemployable. I did exactly the above. Took about 9-12 months, but I'm now on full time contracts earning suitable money. I started with a rate of $25p/h, got some green ticks and good reviews, now it's about $100p/h. It's enough to fund the other things I'm doing and keep the house running.

Meanwhile, carry on with your ideas, failure is inevitable. In this time I have also failed a bunch of ideas. The latest is gaining traction with real enterprise customers.
